Chopard presented two new versions of the Alpine Eagle luxury sports watch featuring a turquoise dial with a texture reminiscent of an eagle’s iris.
The new dial colors are available in two case/bracelet options: stainless steel or Fairmined rose gold.
The steel used by Chopard is called Lucent Steel A223 and is the result of a remelting process which makes it highly skin compatible, more wear resistant and particularly reflective.
Regarding its rose gold, Chopard cheap guarantees that it comes from a cooperative whose operations are certified as ethical, fair and sustainable.
Featuring a one-piece case and bracelet with polished and matte finishes, the Alpine Eagle features a circular bezel dotted with eight screws, set in pairs at four cardinal points, their slots matching the circle of the bezel cut.
These screws also have a technical function that ensures the watch is water resistant to 100 meters / 330 feet. The standout feature of the 41mm x 9.7mm case is the protection of the large crown engraved with the compass rose.
The tapered Alpine Eagle bracelet consists of one ingot-shaped link topped with a polished center cap. A stainless steel triple folding clasp secures the fashion watch on the wrist.
Like the hour markers, the hour and minute hands are coated with Super-LumiNova Grade X1 for improved nighttime readability. Beating at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 bph) and with a power reserve of 60 hours, the refined 01.01-C movement can be admired through the transparent sapphire crystal case back.
